Internet Routing with BGP by Iljitsch van Beijnum, 2022 A lot of things about BGP have changed in 20 years, so time for a new book. Published as an e-book only for now. New topics include IPv6, RPKI and BFD. | |
|
BGP by Iljitsch van Beijnum, 2002 In essence, I wrote the book I wish I had when I first started out with BGP. It explains current interdomain routing practices, including AS number and IP addressing issues, and has real-world BGP examples for Cisco routers. |
| |
|
Internet Routing Architectures by Sam Halabi, 2000 Very detailed description of BGP, with Cisco example configurations. | |
|
Cisco BGP-4 Command and Configuration Handbook by William R. Parkhurst, 2001 This book is structured as a reference manual for the BGP commands in Cisco IOS, but it offers more: for each command, there is at least one example that shows how the command is used. |
| |
|
BGP4 Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet by John W. Stewart, 1998 Haven't read it. Shorter than the others at 137 pages (and cheaper). I hear it's good, with a detailed protocol description and operational details. | |
Books on Computer Networking in General | ||
|
Network Geeks: How They Built the Internet by Brian Carpenter, 2013 Former IETF chair Brian Carpenter writes about building the internet in Europe as well as his time at CERN and IBM. |
| |
|
Routing in the Internet by Christian Huitema, 1999 The former chairman of the Internet Architecture Board describes many of the core Internet protocols (including IPv6) and shares some insight in the more political issues, such as OSI vs IPv6. | |
|
Interconnections, Second Edition: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols by Radia Perlman, 1999 Excellent in-depth treatment of routing and switching. Some info on interdomain routing. |
| |
|
Gigabit Networking by Craig Partridge, 1993 This is a very good book on gigabit speed networking in general and descriptions of several technologies, including fiber optics, cell networking and ATM, host performance and QoS. | |
|
Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet by Katie Hafner, Matthew Lyon, 1998 Describes the early days of the Internet, or rather, the ARPANET. Very interesting. |
| |
|
Computer Networks by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, 1996 Classic textbook on computer networking. Covers everything from layering (the OSI model), transmission media, error detection and correction, sliding windows to congestion control and much, much more. | |
|
Gigabit Ethernet: Migrating to High-Bandwidth Lans by Jayant Kadambi, Mohan Kalkunte, Ian Crayford, 1998 Excellent book on Ethernet, with many interesting things on 10, 100 and 1000 megabit Ethernet. The book goes into great detail. |
| |
|
The Protocols (TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1) by W. Richard Stevens, 1994 Covers many protocols from the TCP/IP family, but the 120 pages on TCP alone makes the book worth buying. | |
